• Real-time, adaptive UI: The in-vehicle display—including driver’s dashboard and infotainment center—is powered entirely by Unreal Engine, enabling live-rendered, spec-accurate visuals unique to each vehicle
  
  

• Dynamic drive modes: Nine immersive themes (mountains, desert, campfire, etc.) shift dynamically, with animated environments like flickering fires, moving clouds, and interactive 3D vehicle models
  
  

• Rapid iteration & custom shaders: Designers used Unreal’s material system and custom shaders for lighting accuracy—reflections, paint, glass—and achieved rapid prototyping cycles—from concept to live system in 6 months
  
  

• Interactive UX: Drivers can interact with the vehicle visual via touch gestures (e.g., two-finger pivot), and see seamless transitions between modes with live environmental animations
  
  

• Future-ready refreshes: Built with over-the-air (OTA) updates in mind, Rivian can continue adding themes, features, and UX improvements without hardware changes
